This is a sweet little horn thats definitely been around the block!
It still looks great for a horn made in 1889 though!
I really only play BBb so I don't play this too often, but I can play several scales on this with a clear full sound.
I'd love to know any additional history on it that any of you tuba gurus might have!
And feel free to throw out any offer you think is reasonable!
